It’s October and the monsters aren’t just in haunted houses—they’re in Congress, on cable news, and apparently on couches with J.D. Vance. The crew rants about tariffs that punish farmers, Disney’s PR disasters, monopolies run amok, and why Michael’s might secretly be saving craft gays everywhere. Plus, a debate over Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl standoff proves the halftime show is still gayer than the game.

This week the crew laughs through yet another failed doomsday prediction, side-eyes Trump’s escalator conspiracy and Melania’s Hamburglar chic, and dives into the mess of media censorship, celebrity PR disasters, and the Epstein files everyone’s afraid of. Toss in government shutdown drama, Grindr jokes, and a heated debate over pumpkin spice, and you’ve got an episode that’s equal parts scandal, sass, and seasonal flavor. P.S. someone hates on pumpkin spice.

Halloween may be Chad’s Super Bowl, but this year spooky season comes with tariffs, sky-high craft store prices, and Hobby Lobby pretending the holiday doesn’t exist. The crew riffs on candy rationing, ICE costumes scarier than any ghost, and why Black Mirror feels less like fiction and more like 2025’s to-do list. Plus, a love letter to Allison Janney, Jordan Peele’s brilliance, and the eternal truth: white people in horror movies never turn on the damn lights.
